Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the driving test manoeuvres! We understand that mastering manoeuvres can be challenging, but with practise and our helpful "how-to" videos, you'll stand a much better chance of passing this part of your driving test.

Our videos provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions on each manoeuvre, helping you to build your skills and confidence. At World Driving, we believe that practise is essential to mastering these manoeuvres, so be sure to practice with a qualified instructor.

During your driving test, you'll be required to perform one of three reversing manoeuvres: forward bay parking (and reversing out), pulling up on the right-hand side of the road (and reversing 2 car lengths), or reverse bay parking. Since you won't know which manoeuvre the examiner will choose, it's crucial to practice all of them until you feel confident. Additionally, you may be asked to carry out an emergency stop, so make sure you're prepared for that too.

To successfully perform these manoeuvres, focus on accuracy, control, and observations. Take your time, drive slowly, and always observe your surroundings. With our expert guidance and a bit of practice, you'll be well on your way to acing your driving test manoeuvres in no time!



Pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse 2 car lengths and then rejoin traffic.


Objective: Pull up on the right-hand side of the road so that you're reasonably close to the kerb. Reverse 2 car lengths and then rejoin traffic when it's safe.

See our step-by-step video and read our full guide on the pull up on the right-hand side of the road here. We will give you all the tips to make sure that you pass this part of your driving test easily.
